I need information on Micheal Collins of the Apollo 11 Misson Command Module. The things I know/have: He was the pilot of the Apollo 11 mission. Michael Collins, 90, was part of the three-member crew on Apollo 11, the first lunar landing mission in 1969. Unlike Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, he never walked on the moon. Collins stayed behind and piloted the command module as it circled above. Because of that, Collins is often called the "forgotten astronaut." He was born on October 31, 1930, and died on April 28, 2021. I need more besides this.

What I am trying to achieve: My homework is that I chose Micheal Collins and I have to write about him on a blog meaning I have to write like I AM him, I need the information about him to last three blog days of him.

Hello

Michael Collins was an American astronaut who played a crucial role in the historic Apollo 11 mission. As the Command Module Pilot, he was responsible for piloting the spacecraft that carried himself and his fellow astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, to the Moon. While Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the lunar surface in the Lunar Module, Collins remained in orbit around the Moon in the Command Module, making him one of the most isolated humans in history. During his time in orbit, Collins conducted scientific experiments and monitored the progress of his colleagues on the Moon. Collins was born in Rome, Italy in 1930, and later moved with his family to the United States. He served as a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force before joining NASA in 1963. He flew on two space missions, including Gemini 10 and Apollo 11. The latter mission is widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements in human history, and Collins' role in it was crucial. After retiring from NASA in 1970, Collins worked in various roles, including as an Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs and as the director of the National Air and Space Museum. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1969 and inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame in 1993.
